Historical Society Annual Meeting The Historical Society annual meeting was held on Friday, September 10, 2004 at 7:00 p.m. at the Squire's Tavern. During a brief business meeting we reported on the progress made during the last 12 months. Historical Society officers were elected for the next year: President- Walt Landgraf Vice President- Shirley CoffinSecretary- Karen Ansaldi Treasurer- George Terwilliger Trustee- Mike DayA slide show program covering four years of restoration work at the Squire's Tavern was enjoyed by all. And what a coincidence! Our meeting date just happened to fall on the 225th anniversary of the Town of Barkhamsted (incorporated on September 10, 1779). This event was celebrated with birthday cake and stories surrounding the town's incorporation.
